Operational taxonomic unit - Wikipedia An operational taxonomic unit (OTU) is an operational definition used to classify groups of closely related individuals The term was originally introduced in 1963 by Robert R Sokal and Peter H A Sneath in the context of numerical taxonomy, where an "operational taxonomic unit" is simply the group of organisms currently being studied [1]
What Is an OTU (Operational Taxonomic Unit)? - Biology Insights An Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) is a method scientists use to classify microorganisms by grouping them based on genetic similarity This is particularly useful for categorizing closely related individuals that cannot be identified using traditional methods
Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) and OTU Clustering Nowadays, OTU is generally used in many contexts In most cases, it refers to clusters of uncultivable microorganisms which are grouped according to their DNA sequence similarity This similarity is detected by a specific taxonomic marker gene

Metagenomics - Operational taxonomic unit (OTU) In 16S metagenomics approaches, OTUs are cluster of similar sequence variants of the 16S rDNA marker gene sequence Each of these cluster is intended to represent a taxonomic unit of a bacteria species or genus depending on the sequence similarity threshold
Operational Taxonomic Units – Molecular Ecology Evolution: An . . . An OTU is a cluster of organisms grouped together based on a set level of similarity, often using DNA sequences OTUs serve as proxies for species or higher-level taxonomic groups when direct classification is impractical or when detailed taxonomic information is unavailable
